All Marv Edelstein ever wanted was a baseball team. Now two years after he first voiced his wish, he has a league with 53 teams. It all started in 1990, when Edelstein talked to Little League officials about starting a Challenger baseball team -- a team for disabled kids -- in Weston. Before moving to Weston, Edelstein lived in New Jersey where he was active in the Special Olympics. He never forgot the children. "It was a profound experience," he said. "I decided that if I ever had the opportunity for an avocation, I would like it to be with the handicapped."

The Dan Marino trade rumors keep gaining steam despite continued denials from Marino and coach Don Shula. The latest version was offered Monday night on ESPN`s Sportslook. Fred Edelstein, a quasi-insider whose track record on rumors isn`t good, said Marino wants to be traded to Chicago because he would like to play for a winner and coach Mike Ditka. The Bears have three first-round draft choices this year, their own plus those of Washington and the Los Angeles Raiders. Edelstein believes the Bears might trade injury-prone quarterback Jim McMahon, 1,000-yard rusher Neal Anderson and two first-round picks for Marino.

After beating out 30,000 contestants for one of 15 spots on the reality cooking show Top Chef, Micah Edelstein still has trouble believing it was an overly dry meatloaf that landed her on thin ice in just the third week of the show. Add to that a misunderstood crack about America's use of ketchup, and the South Florida-based chef was sent packing way before the final round. "They presented it in an entirely different light than what I meant," said Edelstein. "I couldn't believe it when I saw it."

They've booed lustily. They've shunned. They've stormed out. But never before has an elected federal official done what Rep. Joe Wilson did Wednesday night - the South Carolina Republican shouted, "You lie!" at President Barack Obama during Obama's health care speech before a joint session of Congress and a national television audience. Verbal warfare and even fisticuffs have a long and bipartisan history in the nation's Capitol. Here are some highlights of politicos not playing nice: The Boo Birds: Democrats in Congress heartily booed President George W. Bush during State of the Union addresses in 2004 and 2005.

Ted Kaplan, Joe Edelstein and Saul Solomon try to reunite once a week, either by playing tennis, having lunch or simply chatting on the telephone. Occasionally in their conversations, one of the three Boca Raton residents will recall a detail of some basketball game they all played nearly 60 years ago as children growing up at the Hebrew Orphan Asylum of New York. But this weekend, the basketball memories, as well as memories of the place they all call "the home," will be shared with a larger group at the 18th reunion of the orphanage, held annually in Fort Lauderdale.

Before she was asked to pack her knives and go in the third episode of the third season of Top Chef, Micah Edelstein of Boca Raton had her ups and downs as a contestant. In the first episode, the 15 contestants got 10 minutes to prepare an amuse-bouche from reception leftovers at South Beach's Casa Casuarina. For this Quick-Fire Challenge, Edelstein made a version of the Tuscan sushi that is popular with clients of her Wandering Chef Catering company.
